Intended Use
The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears are intended for the simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery, and cutting of natural or synthetic, nonmetallic sutures during surgery.
Device Description
The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears system consists of the following: MiScal Reusable Handpiece, MiScal Thermal Ligating Shears Kit, Universal Power Supply 200-006R. The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears are designed to provide thermal ligation and division in various surgical procedures. The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears consist of a reusable handpiece with heating elements at the distal tip which are activated by a finger switch located on the handpiece of the device. The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears are designed to allow the surgeon control of the heating element power of the device in order to accommodate the individual patient anatomy. An instrument cord connects the handpiece to the dedicated Microline Surgical Universal Power Supply K070871. The MiSeal Reposable Handpiece is supplied non-sterile in a foam cavity placed in a fiberboard carton and is for multiple patient uses following cleaning and steam sterilization procedures performed per the provided Instructions for Use. The handpiece can be used multiple times if cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed. The MiSeal Disposable Kit (the functional instrument Tip and power cable portion of the applied part of the system) is supplied sterile in a die-cut chipboard Packaging Insert and Tyvek/Mylar pouch and is labeled for single use only. The tip is intended to be used by a trained physician for a single patient use in open general surgery, open vascular surgery, and laparoscopic surgical procedures. The MiSeal single use power cable is connected to the instrument handpiece and terminates at the electrical connection of the Universal Power Supply. The system power supply is supplied non-sterile for reusable use outside the sterile field. The MiSeal device incorporates Hi and Low heating modes that are used to coagulate and cut soft tissue. The heating elements in the disposable tip are activated by a physician controlled finger switch located on the handpiece of the device. The MiSeal device is intended to provide general purpose dissection, spreading, and grasping of soft tissue during minimally invasive or open surgical procedures.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on thermal ligation and cutting controlled by the surgeon via a finger switch and Hi/Low heating modes. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any form of automated decision-making or data processing that would indicate the use of these technologies.

Yes
The device is described as providing "thermal ligation and division" for "simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery," which are direct therapeutic actions on the body.

No

The device is described as "simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery," and "provides thermal ligation and division," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components including a reusable handpiece, disposable kit (tip and power cable), and a universal power supply. It describes mechanical actions (cutting, grasping, spreading) and thermal functions (heating elements for cutting and cauterization), all of which are hardware-driven. There is no mention of software being the primary or sole component of the device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "simultaneous cutting and cauterization of soft tissue during surgery, and cutting of natural or synthetic, nonmetallic sutures during surgery." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical instrument with heating elements for cutting and cauterization. It's used for "thermal ligation and division in various surgical procedures."
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of bodily specimens.

The device is clearly a surgical instrument used for therapeutic and procedural purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears are designed to provide thermal ligation and division in various surgical procedures. The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears consist of a reusable handpiece with a heating elements at the distal tip which are activated by a finger switch located on the handpiece of the device. The MiSeal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears are designed to allow the surgeon control of the heating clement power of the device in order to accommodate the individual patient anatomy. An instrument cord connects the handpiece to the dedicated Microline Surgical Universal Power Supply K070871.

The MiSeal Reposable Handpiece is supplied non-sterile in a foam cavity placed in a fiberboard carton and is for multiple patient uses following cleaning and steam sterilization procedures performed per the provided Instructions for Use. The handpiece can be used multiple times if cleaning and sterilization procedures are followed. The MiSeal Disposable Kit (the functional instrument Tip and power cable portion of the applied part of the system) is supplied sterile in a die-cut chipboard Packaging Insert and 'I'yvek/Mylar pouch and is labeled for single use only. The tip is intended to be used by a trained physician for a single patient use in open general surgery, open vascular surgery, and laparoscopic surgical procedures.

The MiSeal single use power cable is connected to the instrument handpiece and terminates at the electrical connection of the Universal Power Supply. The system power supply is supplied non-sterile for reusable use outside the sterile field.

The MiSeal device incorporates Hi and Low heating modes that are used to coagulate and cut soft tissue. The heating elements in the disposable tip are activated by a physician controlled finger switch located on the handpiece of the device. "The MiSeal device is intended to provide general purpose dissection, spreading, and grasping of soft tissue during minimally invasive or open surgical procedures.

To coagulate and cut tissue, the physician grasps the desired tissue between the jaws of the MiScal Reposable Thermal Ligating Shears and gently squeezes the thumb trigger and handpiece to close the jaws. Depressing the finger switch and squeczing the thumb trigger activates the heating clements in the distal tip. An audible low frequency tone accompanies the activation of the heating clement in the variable mode to notify the physician the power is being applied. An audible high frequency tone will accompany the activation of the heating element in High power mode. Depressing the finger switch on the top of the handle provides cither Hi or Low heating mode. Generally, a lower UPS output setting improves the scaling capabilities and lengthens the time required to divide tissue. Conversely, a higher output setting reduces the time to divide tissue and may result in decreased vessel seal integrity
